Bazingafeldon:

BAZINGAFELDON: A DCC 'HO' gauge layout that is can be ran from 2016 to the modern day.

The layout, whilst still under constuction, is set in the suburbs of Basel, Switzerland. The town being in the northwestern part of Switzerland borders Germany and France, allows for a variety of locomotives and rolling stock to be run.

The majority of passenger trains are provided by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) with Deutsche Bahn (DB) running services from Germany. A variety of freight services pass through, with the main services being provided by SBB, DB, and SNCF (National society of French railroads); however, some other freight operators may be seen.

The layout consits of a large multi platform station with a representation of the local suburbs as the backdrop. At one end of the layout is a heritage centre with numerous preserved locomotives and rolling stock. The fiddle yard is of a double deck constuction to allow a large amount of stock to be run with prototypical elavation changes at either end of the layout, with one being a helix. The trackwork is Peco code 100 and the layout is controlled by a Roco Z21, Lenz interface and Railroad & Co operating system.
